Evelyn Dab's Mix!

Evelyn Dab’s Mix

For the birds so don’t be tempted to eat some yourself!

18 oz peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) – this is 2 cups if not using a 18 oz jar.
1 lb. margarine or unsalted butter (tub or sticks)
½ cup sugar
2 cups flour – preferably unbleached or whole wheat
4 cups yellow corn meal

Combine flour and cornmeal in separate bowl.

In a large microwave safe bowl melt the margarine/butter, until only just completely melted and not over nuked! This is about 95 seconds in my microwave. Stove top will work too of course. You’ll get the knack how long after a few tries. Take out/remove and add sugar. You can blend by hand or beater.

While adding the sugar melt the peanut butter as you did the m/b, but keep a close eye on it so you don’t have a peanut butter volcano! You can melt in a bowl (about 80 seconds in my microwave), or, after removing the aluminum top to the jar of peanut butter, replace cap loosely and microwave it in the jar! Keep checking and don’t create a bubbling peanut butter plastic toxic waste dump in your microwave! You’ll get the hang of it in no time.

Combine peanut butter with m/b and sugar mixture.

Slowly blend flour cornmeal mixture in with melted stuff. You can experiment and add seed, or unsalted peanuts, or whatever, but the birds will love it just the way Evelyn Dab’s intended! Enjoy!

Rufous Hummingbird in St. John's County Florida 1/24/09




Male rufous hummingbird in St. John's County Florida
 




Adult male Baltimore oriole at Julie Cocke's house in Jacksonville, FL

Today I observed the rufous hummingbird that has been frequenting my friend Gary Davis' house for the past two weeks. I was with Ken Jones and Kevin Dailey. We arrived at 07:45 and the bird arrived a few minutes later. We saw it off and on, about every 15 minutes, until we left at 10:00. Rufous hummers show up quite regularly in Florida, but are rare here around the greater Jacksonville area. This guy has been here for at least two weeks. Rufous hummingbirds have a reputation of being tough and that's a good thing with this week's near record freezing temperatures dipping into the low 20's!
On our way back to Fort George Island we stopped at the home of Julie Cocke and saw her two beautiful Baltimore Orioles, both adult, one male, one female. This was 2009 year bird 156. We saw some Wild Turkeys along the road over to Gary's for #155.

This was my first rufous observed in St. John's County, FL.

Florida Life List

Florida Life List


Symbols used in the checklist are as follows:

B — A species that is (or formerly was) a breeder in Florida.

BI — Species for which breeding is limited to introduced components of the population.
For example, Mallards winter in Florida in low numbers, but the only Mallards breeding
here are introduced birds that are permanent residents in the state. It is not known
whether Whooping Cranes ever bred in Florida historically. Breeding today is limited to
individuals introduced to create a non-migratory population.

E — Established exotic — nonnative birds with stable or increasing breeding
populations in Florida. [NOTE: Nonnatives are not countable towards Wings Over
Florida certificates.]

† — Extinct

R — Rare birds that should be documented and reported to the Florida Ornithological
Society. Send records to Andy Kratter, Secretary, Archbold Biological Station, P. O. Box
2057, Lake Placid, FL 33862.

One month of Red Knot Sightings

12/14/08 - 45; one flock on inland mud flats at Huguenot Park, did not see bands.
01/01/09 - 40; almost in same spot as those seen on December 14th.
01/03/09 - 165; small flocks of 20 to 30 flying north along beach near north parking area of Little Talbot SP.
01/05/09 - 650; there was a group of approximately 400 across the Fort George Inlet (I was standing on the extreme south end of Little Talbot SP) and on the shoals at Huguenot Memorial Park, and the other 250 were groups of approx. 25 to 40 birds flying south (many eventually joining the large flock). This is the largest group of knots I have seen this winter. The fact that they have become hard to find may indicate that these birds were dispersing from the area.
01/12/09 - 22 flying north along beach near north parking area of Little Talbot SP. No bands detected.
01/17/09 - 42 in one flock at extreme north tip of Huguenot at 09:30 (low tide at 07:30)

Gannets Galore! 1/5/09

Little Talbot Island State Park – January 5, 2009

I ventured over to Talbot tonight hoping to get a pic of the Le Conte’s, which was probably still traumatized after being chased around by lots of birders (iPods in hand) yesterday. I got a glimpse or two of the sparrow, but no pics. The highlight was observing the largest flock of gannets I have ever seen. There were over 2,500 birds in one flock alone. They were close to shore on a calm ocean. The late afternoon sun made viewing magnificent. Amongst the gannets were several small pods of Bottlenose Dolphins feeding furiously.

There were not many other birds present. I had one great look at an immature Parasitic Jaeger, and there were a few Red-breasted Mergansers, but besides for gulls, that was about it. It didn’t matter though as watching this mega flock of gannets was a great treat.

Sparrows!! 1/3/09

Little Talbot Island Sparrow Bonanza!
January 3, 2009


I birded from 10:00 to 15:30. There was dense fog which kept things very active until mid-afternoon. The Le Conte’s Sparrow was a great tip from a visiting birder from Tallahassee, Mark Kiser – thanks! This was a county bird! The Little Talbot Island State Park sand dunes are wonderful for sparrows. This is the third time I have seen a Clay-colored Sparrow here. Both the white-crowned and field sparrows were my all time high number. I dipped on some of the target birds, such as common loon, black scoter, piping plover and brown thrasher, but I’ll take the two sparrows!
